Hi,
First of all, what bothers me most about your situation is that you get no post beeps. That issue is very important.
Manic has given you several excellent suggestions. Here is again (a repeat of my concerns that he has provided)
> Make sure you have the ATX (24 pin) connector down tightly in the socket.
> Make sure you have the square Molex (12 volt) plugged into the proper place on your motherboard.
> Make sure you have the CPU/Heatsink fan plugged into the proper place on the motherboard.
> Make sure you have the 12 volt video card connector plugged into the pci-e card (the majority of them require this, a few don't)
> Make sure you have seated your ram correctly. The little side clips MUST be straight up if they are in correctly.
> Try one stick of ram at a time if it doesn't give a post beep. (check manual to see which slot to use)
> Make sure the heatsink clamp is on there tightly, thereby holding the CPU and heatsink in very tight. They are sometimes hard to get down.
> Take out and reseat the video card as well as the 12 volt wire that connects to it.
Second, check your manual to make sure you have the video plugged into the sli #1 slot. Some have it fixed so either one will work, while some have it so you have to use #1 first, and then #2 if you choose to sli the board.
It was mentioned by Chrisafp07 that you may need to connect it to the onboard connector, but if I am looking at the correct board, it DOES NOT have onboard video so that suggestion would not be appropriate in this case. Correct me if I am looking at the wrong board or have made an error.
Recheck these things and then take it for a test drive. Post back with progress/lack of progress/questions/concerns.
